World Longest Covered Bridge turns 111

Although this is not a post about Nova Scotia, I would like to honor a location not far from Nova Scotia as it celebrates an anniversary. 


The Hartland Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick is the longest covered bridge in the world. 
It crosses the St. John River in New Brunswick and it was officially opened July 4th, 1901 and today it is 111 years old. 


The Town of Hartland is situated along the picturesque and scenic St. John River Valley.  Hartland is located approximately 72 miles ( 120 km ) west of Fredericton, New Brunswick and approximately 100 miles ( 160 km ) east of Edmundston, New Brunswick, when travelling on the Trans Canada Highway (Route # 2). We are only a short drive from the Maine/New Brunswick border crossing at Woodstock.
